We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

So when he did this, Mike, my husband, was like...

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

tell him, Brian, you need to stop, you know, because like the whole time before we're accommodating to him, we're kind of walking on eggshells, just taking it how it was.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

But when he's

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

of control like that mike did step in and say you you need to stop it you you need to stop saying that you will be arrested and brian then started going off on mike too and cursing at him and calling him different names like get he was accusing mike of different things too accusing mike of being gay so and i laughed just because like i can laugh now but

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

In the time it was, it was not funny.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

It was just like pretty crazy, pretty insane.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

And Brian said that he was going to go walk off and walk home.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

And I had to step in and say like, you are not going anywhere.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

We got him back in the car.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

I had to

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

I many times had to be the one to talk Brian down because Brian did see me as the person he wanted to talk to through through most of this and Brian didn't really like while in his psychosis he didn't know who we were he would think of us I don't even know as different characters but he definitely didn't see my parents as his parents he like he would even call my mom grandma which

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

it's like kind of funny but I guess he really thought I don't even know that maybe that's who she was and he thought of me as an angel is how he would say it at times and so when I would talk to him he would usually calm down um but yeah that was one of her

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

greatest moments with him and but it's just it's just showing that he was kind of coming at everybody you know just innocent bystanders at this point but brian would have a lot of outbursts like that in public so also someone who has social anxiety like me it's it's just very hard to be around somebody when they're like that

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

It's hard to want to have a relationship because I don't want to go into public and... You don't want to be put in a situation.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

Because walking on eggshells is...

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

it's just a lot of anxiety and holding your breath in and kind of waiting for the moment to be over and that's every time I had been with Brian because especially in the beginning there were always outbursts so that would even look like singing or screaming in like the mall or wherever we would go and then everybody looking at us

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

so that's how it looked in the beginning so he was in and out of the mental facility and when he was in there he would not allow my mom or dad to contact him he wouldn't say anything to them because again he didn't think that they were his parents and he just was triggered by them um but he would allow me to call or he would call me while he was in there and

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

Some days he would call while I was at work and I would have to take time to talk to him.

We're All Insane
Schizophrenia Took My Brother

And it was just heartbreaking because he would call asking when he's going to be able to come home.
